After a little snow last week TJ’s got out for a prowl. Trey rode his pony outside for the first time since the buck off last fall. He has been schooling him in the arena and his work has paid off. Both did excellent. Remy was also happy to see some new country. But it was sloppy footing, a few more days of drying out will be just right.

Tanya’s been making some great 100% mohair and alpaca cinches. I’ve been putting rides on Remy. Really starting to like this little guy. And keep an eye out for our next c**t Steelo. 1st ride on Steelo is right around the corner.

I am proud to announce that BJ Nation of Nation Saddlery is building me a new rig. I’m excited! I’ve been riding a saddle for 13 years that has been too big for me but it fit most horses I ride. It was all I had and I adapted. I’ve been looking for several years for a good used ranch saddle that would suit my needs but have come up empty. Back when I was still holding out hope on a severance from my last ranch job I decided to pull the trigger on a new build. When that fell thru, I’ve been busting my tail fencing, mechanicing, and doing whatever job I can to make this happen.

The tree arrived a few weeks ago and I went to take a look. It’s a Will James tree custom built to my measurements. It’ll be a rough-out saddle with no tooling, plate rigging, and a straight up cantle pretty basic but I know the quality of workmanship that will go into it. BJ has a program that I could take part in building the saddle but unfortunately my time is better spent busting my butt to pay for it.

I’ll keep posting pics as the build progresses but for right now I’m just super excited.

TJs had a good day. Trey had to buck out his pony. Sorry no pics but he learned to get sticky and got the job done. Tanya is working to become a certified Equine Massage Therapist, and I’ve been working with Remy. Teaching him that his happy place is not over there with his friends but right here in the middle with me. Then we had fun dragging some barrels around. Cool little horse.

I’ve been making some time for Remy over the past couple weeks. Today, Trey worked him a little for me before we out on a prowl.
